Notes.
There are no nomenclature issues with E. similis , as the name was validly published and the type was specimen correctly cited (Fig. 7 View Figure 7 ). However, all databases and studies of the genus state that the protologue was published in 1939. Still, according to the journal’s website, the publication date is October 1938. Additional material: P (P02960062, photo of MO-2050072).
Etymology.
The specific epithet " Erythrina similis " is derived from Latin, meaning " similar to ", and was chosen due to E. similis similarity with E. amazonica , especially in dried specimens.
